Reviews / Votes
highly stimulating... The author has impressive credentials and a great command of the social science literature (much of which he has been involved in writing). I was grateful that he brought in his own love for, and experience of, nature at frequent intervals because it showed that this wasn't just an academic exercise - and it clearly isn't. -- Mark Avery, author and environmental campaigner Richardson's manifesto for re-establishing our connection to nature is heartfelt and never dry. And it couldn't be more needed than now. -- Sam Pryah, Countryfile Magazine This well-written book... emphasizes the importance of the psychological connection to natureand its role in promoting overall well-being. I found it particularly impressive how Richardson highlights the distinction between 'exposure' and 'connection' to nature, raising the possibility that the latter holds the greater influence. -- Masashi Soga, Nature Ecology and Evolution Richardson makes his meticulously researched case in prose that a teenager would understand. He offers redress for the causes of our double ecological crisis rather than just describing the symptoms. My stand-out environmental book of the year. -- Mark Cocker * Spectator Books of the Year * This was a book I was keen to read, and it did not disappoint. -- Jeannie Nairn * Scottish Forestry *
